The difference between single camera and multiple camera

Single Camera and Multiple camera

 

The difference between single camera and multiple camera is; with single camera there is only one camera to capture the shots, however with multiple camera there is more than one camera on set to record the scenes, this makes the editing easier as there are various shots in front that you can select to broadcast, whereas the single makes the editing longer because there is only one camera which necessarily means you would have to search for the right scenes and this may take a huge amount of time. With single camera you have to take the shots separately as you only have one camera, however with multiple cameras you are able to capture the shots all at once as there is more than one camera around to do this.

As a whole, a production that uses the single camera setup usually book just one camera and each of the wide range of shots and camera angles is taken via the same camera which is relocated to reset and get shot or new angle. Also the lighting setup is typically reconfigured for each camera setup. Multiple camera setups consist of multiple cameras in order to film all of the diverse shots (also known as camera angles) of the scene at the same time and the set must be lit to position all camera setup simultaneously. The outcome of multiple camera production is normally quicker, however there is a reduced amount of versatile photography.
